I have been trying to wrap my head around if this is possible on my current setup, getting digital audio that is not processed by the PI.
My understanding of audio is a little out of date, so please bare with me.
I am having troube understanding if my tv has passthrough and if it will work.
I just got my first Rasberry pi 2.
i have a yahama receiver that handles PCM, Dolby DIgital 7.1 and, Dolby DTS 7.1.
This receiver does not have any HDMI inputs/outputs
This receiver does have 3 digital optical inputs, and 2 RCA type digial inputs, and finally 4 or 5 analouge RCA.
It is not in the budget to be replacing this unit, so i am stuck with it.
i have a samsung tv h6350, only a few months old.
The back has two audio outputs. One of them is called (digital optical tosilink). Currently it is being used by my TV, but i can free it up if need be.
The second audio output is just a 2.5mm? not sure.
Any advice will help.
thanks
